A 37-year-old man has been charged in a March 7 home-invasion case that included the assault of a 79-year-old Mililani woman.

Matthew Ako III, who has a lengthy arrest and conviction record, is charged with burglarizing a Hokulewa Place home in Mililani and using force to rob one of the residents of the home, Yaeko Matsumoto.

Deputy Prosecutor Scott Spallina, head of the new elderly abuse unit in the prosecutor's office, said Matsumoto suffered broken ribs and a collapsed lung.

Ako was one of several men involved in the home invasion, Spallina said.

The assailants also stole a car belonging to Matsumoto and her husband, Spallina said.

The defendant has a long history of arrests and convictions, the prosecutor told Circuit Judge Derrick Chan. Chan set bail at $200,000.

Criminal Justice Data Center records show that Ako has past convictions for burglary, auto theft and criminal trespassing as well as probation and parole violations.
